Jam it back in, in the dark.

Er, would music from Child of Eden be eligible? I realise the music from the game is based on remixes of songs done by Genki Rockets, a virtual band formed by video game designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi of Rez fame. The band's first single, Heavenly Star, was used in No More Heroes before a commercial CD album was released.

The track I'm thinking of nominating is based on two previously released remixes of a song from Genki Rocket's first album but rearranged, though not a great deal, for the game. It's also just over 10min long.

The Genki Rockets album is listed on VGMdb (AVCD-23448 | Genki Rockets I -Heavenly Star- - VGMdb) and the composer for the track I'd like to nominate is Yusuke Tanaka, who has apparently composed for the Idolmaster games (Yusuke Tanaka - VGMdb).

In any case, here's another nomination:

* Album Title: Attack Rate
* Artist: Ryu Takami
* Track Title: Real Life
* Source: RISQ-0001 | Attack Rate - VGMdb
* File Location: Nominations folder
* Disc Number: 1 (of 1)
* Track Number: 15
* Catalogue Number: RISQ-0001
* Year: 2007

How ya doing, buddy?

Nope, I don't believe the track is a drastic rearrangement of the remixes. Bits and pieces of the original remixes were snipped and stitched together with some additional lines of music and effects added for the game. But I was never sure if it could pass off as authentic VGM, so that's one mystery solved for me!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
